Next generation entertainment brings 3D to TV
April 20, 2009
TDVision Systems is developing a groundbreaking methodology to HD stereoscopic 3D digital video streams, resulting in a video format that can be deployed on Blu-Ray disc and broadcast platforms, such as cable, satellite and high speed internet TV, the company said.
The system uses TDVision's patented technology to compress the video streams at full resolution while staying compatible with both 2D and 3D formats.
"TDVision is committed to 3D HD on all delivery platforms, including broadcast, streaming and optical disk, as well as for all possible content, including live events and movies at quality levels that match the original's," said Ethan Schur, chief marketing officer at TDVision.
According to Futuresource Consulting, 3D is on track to become the next major revenue generator for the home entertainment industry, potentially causing more of a consumer impact than the migration toHD.
"Hollywood is making an ever-increasing commitment to 3D movies for theatrical distribution," said Jim Bottoms, co-founder of Futuresource.
The industry now is working to bring a high quality 3D viewing experience into the home for all platforms. Over the next 12 to 18 months, the industry will intensify its efforts to see consumers enjoying the benefits of 3D in the home as early as 2010, Bottoms said.
